Friday evening, 10 November 2023, at the Bethel Indonesia Church (GBI) Basilea Menteng, Central Jakarta, the Indonesian Bible Institute successfully held Worship Night 2023. The worship service held at Bethel Indonesia Church (GBI) Basilea, Menteng, Jakarta was a tangible manifestation of the spirit of hundreds of young people who gathered to celebrate their faith and express their love for God. Through this event, LAI invited young people from various church denominations to move together to make the Word of God a source of inspiration for life and introduce LAI's ministry to the younger generation.
Worship Nightopened with a riveting worship service, guided by a worship leader and music team playing deep spiritual songs. The energised atmosphere left the youngsters feeling blessed and inspired. The minister of the word was Ps. Christopher Tapiheru who brought up the theme of the sermon: Divine Word Powerful to Renew, from Isaiah 55:10-11.
.Ps. Christopher Tapiheru began the story of "Jesus' Conversation with the Samaritan Woman" in John 4:1-42. Based on the passage Ps. Christopher Tapiheru concluded that man was actually not created in half but was created as a whole. Humans eventually continue to strive to fulfil their calling as a complete creation because they feel a void in themselves. In fact, humans can only feel whole and sufficient if they are attached to and live in God, the Creator.
We let go of the best relationships so that we always feel incomplete and insufficient. “Who did we create? God. Then who should we live for? God ….Instead of using God for ourselves, for heaven, for blessings, ” explained Ps. Christopher Tapiheru.
Through the Worship Night, LAI hopes that young people will grow in their love for God's word, have a closer relationship with God, grow in faith and bear fruit in good deeds that benefit not only themselves. All glory to God. So that it is truly proven, the presence of the Divine Word is truly powerful to renew the lives of every child of God. (pp)
